Before & After results
Have you ever noticed white buildup on your tongue? Most people brush their teeth but forget that their tongue is just as important to their oral health.
Scraping your tongue eliminates harmful bacteria that inflame your gums and cause cavities. Neglecting proper oral hygiene leads to other health issues like heart disease and cancer.
- Your normal toothbrush can't reach all the crevices of your mouth. Plaque and debris are building up on your tongue where you don't always remember to clean.
- Bacterial buildup on the tongue causes aesthetic issues and bad breath. This leads to self-consciousness when socializing personally and professionally
- Ignoring the debris and dead cells on your tongue leads to fungal infections and spreads to the rest of your mouth, causing gum inflammation, yellow teeth, and tooth decay.
- Oral health problems only worsen later in life. Those who don't take preventive measures are more likely to suffer from heart and lung problems, stroke, and cancer.
With every stroke, feel and see a healthy difference. Experience your full potential by keeping your teeth as clean and your breath as fresh as possible.
- Reach every corner and surface of your tongue and remove the buildup your toothbrush couldn't get to, leaving behind a healthier smile in two minutes or less.
- Smile and open your mouth with confidence knowing your mouth is as clean and fresh as possible. Network with ease and make strong first impressions.
- Keep your teeth white and your gums healthy by getting rid of your tongue residue before it turns into an infection or spreads to other parts of your mouth.
- Reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, respiratory complications, stroke, and a laundry list of other problems by protecting your oral health to the fullest extent.
Why use a tongue scraper?
Tongue scrapers are a fast and easy way to remove the food residue, dead cells, and bacteria from the surface of your tongue. Aesthetically, this restores the pink tone your tongue should have, but it also eliminates bad breath and improves your sense of taste. Health-wise, tongue scrapers protect your mouth from fungal infections, inflamed gums, yellow teeth, and progressed forms of tooth decay.
Clear toxins from your tongue
Millions of bacteria live on your tongue. Although some are healthy, they feed on the food residue and dead cells that trap them on its surface, causing bad breath over time. A tongue scraper removes toxins from your mouth by gently lifting off the microscopic bacteria and residual buildup, leaving you with a cleaner, fresher-feeling mouth. As you scrape from back to front, you'll see the difference for yourself.
Improve your tongue's look, feel, and function
When bacteria fester inside your mouth, it forms a yellowish-white blanket over your tongue. This is visually unappealing, but it also affects your sense of taste and smell. Scraping your tongue's surface removes this residue in a matter of seconds and reintroduces your palate to a full spectrum of tastes and smells.
As a bonus, scraping your tongue improves its circulation and function. Better circulation means enhanced digestion, immune system function, and overall health.

How do tongue scrapers work?
The way our tongue scrapers work is simple: just hold the scraper firmly and pull it from back to front a few times. The metal edge is concave and smooth, so you won't feel any discomfort while using it. As you scrape your tongue's surface, the bacteria and food residue will lift off in seconds. With every stroke, feel and see a healthy difference. Experience your mouth's full health potential by keeping your teeth as clean and your breath as fresh as possible.
Scraping for balanced oral bacteria
When the bacteria in our mouths are in balance, they can actually help protect us from other potential issues. But millions of bacteria on your tongue right now are causing bad breath, and worsening your oral health.
Maintaining good oral hygiene can help control bacteria and prevent harmful effects. A tongue scraper is one of the most effective ways to do this because it dislodges both the bacteria and their food source on the tongue.
Improve your digestive function
Your mouth is the first part of your digestive tract. Your taste buds, saliva, and tongue all come into play when it comes to breaking down the food you eat. A clean tongue helps your digestive system break down food by activating its enzymes, leading to better absorption of nutrients and improved digestion.
Benefits of using a tongue scraper
Using a tongue scraper is important for your digestive system, taste buds, breath, and overall oral health. And adding tongue scraping to your oral care routine makes a huge difference, but even the best tongue scraper or metal tongue scraper won’t give you a full range of benefits on its own — it’s part of a larger oral care regimen.
Brush, floss, then scrape
Brushing your teeth is the most important part of your oral hygiene routine. When you add scraping to the mix, you should always brush and floss your teeth before you scrape your tongue. That way, remove all the food particles and bacteria hiding between your teeth before they end up back on your tongue.
Examine your tongue afterward
If you're scraping your tongue because you're concerned about its appearance, look closely at it after scraping. If you notice it is excessively red, purple, white, or black, or if it has a coating that won't come off, it could be a sign of an underlying health issue.

Are tongue scrapers Safe?
According to the ADA and dozens of online medical publications, tongue scrapers are completely safe to use. As long as you use them correctly and don't press too hard, there is no risk involved in using a tongue scraper. The best technique is to hold the scraper firmly and pull it from back to front 2-3 times, without pressing too hard on your tongue. Still, there are a few safety tips to keep in mind.
Overextending or pressing on your tongue
Your tongue can be sensitive to certain movements. Hyperextending your tongue to reach certain parts of your mouth might result in immediate pain and subsequent soreness if you aren't careful. If you press too hard using the scraper, you won't achieve better results, but you do risk hurting your tongue.
Replacing your regular oral care routine
Although tongue scrapers are safe and highly effective, they are not a replacement for your everyday oral health routine. The ADA states you should brush twice a day and floss at least once to maintain your oral health.
Using anticavity mouthwash, tongue scrapers, and other oral health enhancers is an excellent addition to these critical steps, but it is in no way a substitute. NatruSmile customers who use our tongue scrapers but ignore the rest of the ADA-recommended routine will not see the same results.
Tongue Scraper FAQs
Still not sure about the NatruSmile Tongue Scraper? Here are answers to the questions our customers ask us the most.
Where can I buy a tongue scraper?
The best place to buy a tongue scraper is online—that way, you can do all the research you need to do ahead of time.
NatruSmile tongue scrapers are available for immediate purchase at the top of this web page. We offer worldwide shipping and hassle-free returns on all of our orders. For those who want to buy in bulk, we also offer quantity discounts for additional packs.
Alternatively, you can find our tongue scrapers at select brick-and-mortar retailers and specialty online outlets.
Do tongue scrapers cause damage?
When used properly, tongue scrapers do not damage your taste buds. That said, make sure not to apply too much pressure that may harm your taste buds during use. Remember that using a scraper to clean your tongue should be a gentle process that does not cause any pain or damage.
Aside from potential problems with pressure, some customers find that the tongue scraper stimulates their gag reflex. If you have a sensitive gag reflex, a tongue scraper won't cause damage. But it may be uncomfortable.
Is it OK to not clean your tongue?
Although scraping your tongue with a tongue scraper is proven to be beneficial, it isn't a requirement per the ADA's recommendation, nor is it a "must" for other governing bodies. It's perfectly fine not to use a tongue scraper—however, for optimal oral hygiene, it is recommended that you scrape your tongue at least once a day.
If you decide not to use a tongue scraper, you should still clean your tongue while brushing your teeth. If you brush your teeth but not your tongue, chances are that you'll still have excessive bacteria throughout your mouth, causing bad breath and possibly other health problems.
Bottom line? Cleaning your tongue is important for good oral health, and using a tongue scraper is one of the best ways to do it.
Is it good to scrape your tongue?
Scraping your tongue is a good idea, especially if you have a problem with bad breath and notice a yellow film over the surface of your tongue. Bad breath (halitosis) is an issue that affects your self-esteem and ability to socialize with others, and may even hurt your career.
According to comprehensive research published in 2022, tongue scrapers are more effective at removing bacteria, debris, and food particles from your tongue than regular brushing.
The tongue can also be telling of how healthy the rest of your body is (hence the term “tongue diagnosis,” which originated in traditional Chinese medicine). This is part of the reason doctors ask you to stick out your tongue during routine exams.
The connection between your tongue, its health, and the rest of your body is complicated, and how exactly a tongue scraper can benefit it requires more concrete research. At the very least, scraping your tongue is proven to benefit your oral health, which does have a direct impact on your well-being.
The NatruSmile Tongue Scraper is designed to remove harmful bacteria, food particles, and toxins that cause bad breath. Regularly scraping your tongue with our tongue scraper will improve your oral hygiene and potentially reduce the number of visits to the dentist. Plus, it's a great way to freshen up after eating!
Do dentists recommend tongue scrapers?
According to dental experts, using a tongue scraper is one of the most effective ways to reduce bacteria in your mouth, clean your tongue, and fix halitosis (bad breath).
NatruSmile tongue scrapers are specifically tested, verified, and endorsed by Greg Grillo, D.D.S., an industry veteran with nearly 30 years of experience in dental practice, advisory, and consulting.
What do tongue scrapers do?
Tongue scrapers are oral hygiene tools designed specifically to clean the surface of the tongue and have great benefits. They are typically made of metal or plastic and have a flat, curved shape with a handle for easy grip. The primary purpose of a tongue scraper is to remove the buildup of bacteria, food debris, dead cells, and other impurities that accumulate on the tongue's surface, that can cause bad breath and an unhealthy mouth!
Regular use of a tongue scraper offers several benefits, which is why we love them! It helps to eliminate the unpleasant odour caused by bacterial residue on the tongue (bad breath), thereby improving breath freshness. It also aids in maintaining a clean and healthy mouth, contributing to overall oral hygiene. Additionally, tongue scraping can enhance taste perception by removing the buildup that can dull the taste buds.
